Frequency-domain Diffuse Optical Tomography SystemAdopting Lock-in Amplifier In this paper, we developed a frequency-domain diffuse optical tomography(DOT) system for non-invasively imaging in vivo. The system uses near-infrared(NIR) light sources and detectors for which the photon propagation in human tissue is dominated by scattering rather than by absorption. We present the experimental reconstruction images of absorption and scattering coefficients using a liquid tissue phantom, and we obtain the location and shape of an anomaly which has different optical properties than the phantom.

In this paper, we developed a frequency-domain diffuse optical imaging (DOI) system for imaging non-invasively using near-infrared (NIR) light sources and detectors. 70-MHz modulation and a homodyne scheme were adopted. By calibration of the coupling coefficients, concurrent detection measurements by 4 detector sets were optimized. We presented experimental reconstruction images of absorption and scattering coefficients in a liquid phantom, located an anomaly in the phantom and determined its optical properties. The images by the multi-channel concurrent detection were improved over the results by single-channel sequential detection. Tomographic slices of absorption and scattering coefficients in the phantom with an anomaly were also presented.
